I'm an avid reader.
My Favorite Books:
Right now I'm reading contemporary, urban fantasy, paranormal, and historical romance.
I LOVE reading stories with sassy-smart-strong-funny-colourful women, with strong-protective-smart-disciplined, alpha men.
About Me: I'm a hopeless romantic.
I read ALL romance.
The stories I read MUST have a Happily Ever After.
I often re-read my favorite books.
I don't like reading horror, stories that have infidelity, love triangles, books that are unnecessarily violent, and I ABSOLUTELY despise books that end abruptly *ghah*
Words I try to live by: "Treat people the way you'd like to be treated"

Well Suited, the final standalone in the Red Lipstick Coalition Series from Staci Hart, is available now!

Synopsis

Chemistry is my love language.

I’ve always been able to separate feelings from chemosignals. A shot of dopamine, a dash of serotonin, and a sprinkle of oxytocin—and bam. You’re in love.

And when egg meets sperm, you’re pregnant.

I couldn’t even be surprised as I stared down at the little blue plus sign, because I knew exactly when and how, and with whom it happened.

When: approximately five weeks ago.

Who: one-night stand.

How: prophylactic malfunction.

The upside? I don’t have to go looking for a suitable mate.

Genetically, he’s the cream of the crop. His musculature is a study in symmetry and strength, his height imposing and dominant. He is a man who thrives on control and command, a man who survives on intelligence and resourcefulness. A perfect male specimen.

And the whole package is wrapped up in a flawlessly tailored suit.

I’m having this baby, and he insists we’re well-suited to have it together. And what’s worse? He wants more, in the way of love and marriage.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey.

From roots in Houston to a seven-year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

Marry him, and I’ll land my dream job. Save him, and I’ll walk away with everything I’ve ever wanted. All I have to do is remember it’s all for show.
None of it is real, no matter how real it feels.

But first, I have to survive the kiss.
And with lips like his, my heart doesn’t stand a chance.

“5 – Without trust, there is no love Stars!”

You know when you read a book and you absolutely fall in love with characters because you see their strengths and weaknesses.
You like how they talk to one another, they have great conversations, they’re comfortable with each other, and they banter like they were made for each other.

Even though Amelia and Thomas’s relationship first started out as a business deal, it didn’t take long for it to develop into something beautiful and precious.

Trust between the two of them happened almost immediately.
Amelia would do everything in her power to protect Thomas, and Thomas’s protective instincts kicked into full gear when he was around Amelia.
There was mutual respect and a balance of power.

But, what I liked the most about Amelia’s character was that even though she was inexperienced with relationships, she wasn’t portrayed as being “stupid”.
She was smart, funny and protective of the people she loved.
What she lacked in experience she more than made up in compassion, empathy and love.

And even reading this book and knowing Amelia’s decision was going to come back and bite her, it still hurt to read that part of the book.

One of my favourite quotes:

“Everyone needs forgiveness.
I’ll beg yours again someday, and you’ll beg mine.
Because love isn’t perfect, but forgiveness is absolute.
I will always forgive you if you’ll promise to do the same.”

The Dedication at the beginning of this story says it all for me.

“To the quiet girls,
The soft girls,
The girls with more thoughts
than words:
Love speaks loud and clear.”
